➤ FARMERS’ MARKET CRAWL
Last year (for the second year in a row), the American Farmland Trust named the Las Cruces Farmers & Craft Market the best farmers’ market in New Mexico, and it’s not hard to see why. Each Wednesday and Saturday, local creativity and the bounty of the season are on full display at nearly 200 vendor booths stretching for seven blocks along Main Street. Market manager Karin Bradshaw suggests starting your foodie crawl with a bag of sweet and salty SW Kettle Corn. “The line starts at 8:30 a.m. and doesn’t let up until close,” she says. Then hit the Luchador Food Truck for their professional-wrestling-themed street tacos, tortas, and Hawaiian-inspired The Rock Burger (if you smell what they’re cooking), topped with grilled pineapple and ham. For dessert, grab a fresh-baked pecan or cherry pie from Sun Country Kitchen and head for the shade.
